This morning felt positively balmy (low 40s F) after yesterday's cold temps (mid 30s). I had a tough ride home yesterday afternoon because I started coming down with a bug during the day. My wife was sick on Sunday, and I apparently caught it from her. It was mainly stomach cramps but any kind of illness seems to sap my strength, so struggled riding home with all of the hills on my route. After taking a shower when I got home, I had soup for dinner and then crashed on the couch watching TV all night. This morning, I felt 95% better, so I rode to work as usual. I'm a strong believer in exercise as a cure or preventative for sickness. I rarely ever get colds or any other bugs, and when I do, they are usually gone within a day or two.
